hi,

it would be very helpful if iptables provided some default hooks with
ifupdown, such that the admin could not have to manually install scripts
and config files on every machine.  for example, something like this in
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d:

#!/bin/sh

RULESET="/etc/network/firewall/iptables-$IFACE.conf"

if [ -f $RULESET ]; then
        iptables-restore < $RULESET
fi

so, when a device is ifup'd, if such a RULESET file exists it's loaded
up into iptables.  i don't think it would be necessary to save
automatically, it would probably even be a bad idea to do so.  

like i said, it would be very nice to have functionality like this, and
it would be totally unobtrusive for someone who didn't use it.
